Configuring MiSeq Reporter to Work
with Samba Shares on a Linux Server
Introduction
This technote details steps to enable the sharing of MiSeq Reporter folders with Samba
Shares on Linux. These instructions are for the IT administrators of customers that run
MiSeq Reporter software on-instrument.
MiSeq Reporter runs as a localsystem account, and by default does not pass credentials
necessary for Samba share access. To enable MiSeq Reporter to write post-analysis results to a remote server requires changes to the Linux server and to the default configuration settings for MiSeq Reporter.
Create a Shared Folder on the Linux Server
On the Linux server, create a shared folder where MiSeq Reporter will write the analysis
results.
Verify Accounts on the Linux Server
Make sure that the Linux server has an sbsuser account and a Samba share account. If
the accounts do not exist, create them.

Enter the string grep sbuser/etc/passwd to verify that the Linux server has an
sbsuser account.
Make sure that the password for the sbsuser account on the Linux Server is the
same password as the sbsuser on the MiSeq. The default user password on the
MiSeq is sbs123.
If there is no sbsaccount, create an account with the useradd command.
Enter the command pdbedit –Lv | grep sbsuser to verify that the Linux server
has a sbsuser Samba account.
Note: Steps 3 and 4 are not necessary for Illumina Compute Tier 1, Tier 2, Advanced, or Elite customers because those systems come with a Samba shares
setup.
If there is no sbsuser Samba account, create an account using the smbpasswd
command.
Change MiSeq Reporter Service to Run as sbsuser

From the Windows Start menu on the MiSeq, enter Run in the Search field and
press the Enter key.
In the Run dialog box, enter services.msc..
In the Services window, right-click MiSeq Reporter and select Properties.
Select the Log On tab.
Click This account and enter .\sbsuser.
Enter a password in the Password field. Make sure that the password is the
same as the sbsuser password on the Linux server and in MCS software.
Click OK and restart the service.
Note: If you update or reinstall the MiSeq Reporter software, repeat the procedure to
change MiSeq Reporter credentials settings and the procedure to change MiSeq Reporter
service to run as sbsuser.

Start the MiSeq.
On the MiSeq Welcome screen, select Run Options.
On the Run Options screen, select the Folder Settings tab.
Enter or browse to the location on the network where you placed the Samba
shares folder.
Note: It is important that you enter an absolute UNC-style path.
Example: \\ip address\share\runs\
